I make sure to visit Green Apple Books every time I visit San Francisco, as my friends live in the Richmond District, and Green Apple always have a wonderful array of books. So, I’m very happy to hear that they’re going with new methods to keep their doors open. Best of luck to them, I plan to visit next time I’m in the Bay Area.
